Robin Sharma’s Best Practices

“Under the Kimono” things Robin Sharma does to be at his very best on game:

• Up at 5.am. 5 times a week with naps on the weekends
• A 60-minute “holy hour” once he’s up for self-development and personal reflection
• Five big-time workouts a week
• A 90-minute massage every 7 days
• A world-class diet
• A period of journaling most days. Journaling builds self-awareness. I also use my journal to write daily goals, plan and record what I’m grateful for, and capture and process new ideas along with lessons learned.
• A period of reading each day (from Harvard Business Review to Travel and Leisure to Dwell and good books)
• Affirmations or what I call Success Statements throughout the day — especially in the shower. These keep my thoughts locked on what’s most important — and thoughts are the ancestors of actions. Right thinking drives right action.
• A weekly planning session. I also review my goals here. Usually I do it Sunday morning.
• At least one conversation with an interesting person each week to keep my passion high and to surround myself with big ideas. A single conversations can change your life. In an issue of Business 2.0, management consultant Jim Collins revealed that one idea, shared in 30 seconds by a mentor, transformed him.
